Zwitterionic Polymer Surfactants for Drug Delivery

Cao Z., Wayne State University, US

Zwitterionic polymers have found a wide range of applications based on excellent non-fouling properties. It has been demonstrated that their use as surface coatings can effectively resist binding from proteins, cells, and full blood. Nanoparticles [...]

Thermoelectric Properties of nano structured Fe-Al Alloys

Putatunda S.K., Wayne State University, US

Abstract: Thermoelectric properties of Nano structured Fe-Al Alloys. Susil k Putatunda and Shashank Nellikuppam. Wayne State University, Thermoelectric materials have emerged as very important engineering materials in recent years because of their ability to convert [...]

Identification of Battery Models for Enhanced Battery Management

Sitterly M., Wang L.Y., Wayne State University, US

A large-scale battery system consists of hundreds even thousands battery cells, which have different characteristics even when they are new, and change with time and operating conditions due to aging, operational conditions, and chemical property [...]

Simulation of RBCs Bioconcave shape Using 2_D Lattice Boltzmann

Farhat H., Lee J.S., Wayne State University, US

A multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model is used to reproduce RBCs bioconcave shape using variable surface tension on the interface between two fluids.

A lattice Boltzmann study of the non-Newtonian blood flow in stented aneurysm

Kim Y.H., Farhat S., Lee J.S., Wayne State University, US

The treatment of cerebral aneurysms with a minimally invasive porous stent has recently been proposed to prevent rupture and favor coagulation mechanism inside the aneurysm. But, an irregularly shaped and wide-necked aneurysm makes current stent [...]

Effects of the Building Block on the Morphology and Properties of Porous CdSe Nanostructured Framework

Yu H., Bellair R., Kannan R., Brock S., Wayne State University, US

A major challenge in designing and making potentially valuable nanostructures is to find suitable ways to effectively tune their properties and function. Recent work in our lab has demonstrated a powerful strategy to engineer the [...]

Optical Micro-Spectrometer with Sub-Nanometer Resolution

Avrutsky I., Chaganti K., Salakhutdinov I., Auner G., Wayne State University, US

We develop a super compact optical fluorescence spectrometer. Our unique innovative design combines advantages of guided wave planar optics and free-space microoptics. This innovation allows for miniaturization that is not achievable with pure planar or [...]

Structure and Rheology of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Exfoliated Polymer Nanocomposites

Serhatkulu G.K., Horsch S.E., Kannan R., Gulari E., Wayne State University, US

A major technological barrier to achieving superior properties of nano-structured composite materials is the difficulty of dispersing fillers uniformly in a host matrix. The existing nanocomposite manufacturing processes achieve property improvements through chemical modifications of [...]

Modeling and Mass-Distance Scaling of a Nanometer Starburst Polymer

Rothschild W.G., Wayne State University, US

We report numerical scaling of cumulative mass with intramolecular distance of a model of one of the four segments of the hyperbranched poly(propylene!imine)-dendr-DAB(CN)64 molecule. Assuming prevalent repulsive link!link forces gives a power law relation with [...]
